First record of Telephina (Trilobita) from the Ordovician of northeastern Estonia and its stratigraphical implications [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2011 For the first time a telephinid trilobite was recorded from the shallow-water rocks of the North Estonian Confacies Belt in the oil-shale mining area of northeast Estonia.

A persistent influence of supernovae on biodiversity over the Phanerozoic. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 It shows the correlation between diversity and supernovae frequency. Abstract It is an open question what has constrained macroevolutionary changes in marine animal diversity on the time scale of the Phanerozoic. Here, we will show that supernovae appear to have significantly influenced the biodiversity of life.

Modularity in the trilobite head consistent with the hypothesized segmental origin of the eyes. [PDF]
Evol Dev, 2022 The degree and structure of modularity in the heads of two trilobite species, Calyptaulax annulata (left) and Cloacaspis senilis (right) are identified. Best fit hypotheses of modularity are consistent for both species: the eyes and anterior head highly covary (red), consistent with the anteriormost ocular segment of early arthropods.

Developmental traits and life strategy of redlichiid trilobites. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc, 2023 ABSTRACT The developmental mode of four redlichiid trilobites is summarized, based upon exceptionally well‐preserved, articulated specimens from Cambrian Series 2 (stages 3 and 4) strata in southwestern China and South Australia. These relatively complete developmental sequences indicate a balanced rate in segment increase and addition to the thorax ...

A new middle Cambrian trilobite with a specialized cephalon from Shandong Province, North China [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 Trilobites achieved their maximum generic diversity in the Cambrian, but the peak of morphological disparity of their cranidia occurred in the Middle to Late Ordovician. Early to middle Cambrian trilobites with a specialized cephalon are rare, especially

Trilobites of Thailand's Cambrian–Ordovician Tarutao Group and their geological setting
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 9, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023 Abstract Tuff‐bearing upper Cambrian to lowermost Ordovician strata on Ko Tarutao island, Satun province, southernmost peninsular Thailand, contain a rich trilobite fauna relevant to global biostratigraphy, peri‐Gondwanan palaeogeography and shifting evolutionary mode.

Rise and fall of the phacopids: the morphological history of a successful trilobite family
Palaeontology, Volume 66, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023 Abstract Phacopidae were a successful family of the Silurian–Devonian period. Although their diversity trends are well identified, their shape evolution is unknown; their morphology often considered to be conservative. We have quantified these morphologies using geometric morphometrics (landmarks) and investigated their evolution using morphological ...
